The MS600 sounds noticeably superior to the already very good sounding MC200.......which in turn sounds superior to the C15 IMHO.

I believe that this is largely down to the "quieter" decoding environment offered by the MS600.......the lack of a 2.5in Magnetic Drive spinning at 5,400 to 7,200rpm being a rather large factor.

I also believe that Meridian have designed the MS600 from the ground up as a lower output jitter device, thus resulting in better sound quality being achieved.

My points above relate to the Digital Outputs from both devices.......when it comes to Analog Outputs, I also believe that the MS600 has better quality DACs than the simpler MC200.

A home demo would go a long way to seeing if the advantages of the MS600 are for you.......I'm sure your Dealer can easily accomodate this.
